We Can Laugh About It Now!

Okay, the Pet Peeve page was fun. And according to the Page Stats, it was a popular post, though for some reason, not everyone likes to comment. Maybe that’s one of their pet peeves?  

Anyway, let’s do it again. Only this time, let’s see how many responders we have in sharing our most embarrassing moment/s. I’m sure, like me, you may have some that caused you to consider changing your identity. Then there are those that—as they say—“we can laugh about now”! Well... maybe.

My Pet Peeves

Okay, I felt it was time for a really fun post. 

A while back, I filled out a “Get to know ya” form for some function that I have since forgotten, but did remember one question. 

“What is your greatest pet peeve?” 

Wait a second . . . is it “greatest” pet peeve, or would it be “worst” pet peeve?  Whichever it is, I was READY to answer, but only because a few days before I loudly proclaimed from the laundry room my utmost frustration with “tangled wire hangers”! 

Color Me Purple (Just for Fun)

(Originally a writing exercise in a creative writing class I took several years ago.)

My shade is mysterious.

I am the product of a primary combination.

I am as graceful as fresh cut lilacs on the kitchen table caught in the warm rays of the morning sun.

I am as soothing as a lingering lavender bubble bath at the end of a long and tiring day.

I smell of tender violets and taste like an icy, grape Popsicle dripping down your chin in the hot summer sun.

After the rain, I am often the lower arc of the rainbow.

I am as sweet as the plumpest of plums and as full-bodied as vintage wine.

On a bad day, they call me Mauve!

When I’m all dressed up, they call me Amethyst.

My friends just call me...

Purple.
